triathlon results

for those that this means something to:

overall time: 1:31:26 (1 hour, 31 minutes, 26 seconds)
swim (400 meters): 9:09
transition 1: 3:42
bike (12 miles): 47:06
transition 2: 1:37
run (5k): 29:55

i am pretty disappointed with the swim time. that was the ONE out of the 3 that i had timed myself and felt pretty confident at about an 8:00 time. but...i was way off {the choking and all didn't help, i guess}.

but i am pleased with the bike and run times.
they were both a bit faster than i was estimating in my head.

so...there you have it!

{ps. i swam 50 laps this morning...2,500 meters! without stopping. that's about a mile and a half! just needed to make SURE i still love swimming...after my disappointment with my time on sunday...oh, i do love it! i think i can go FAR swimming...i'm just not FAST!}

You did GREAT! And just think...your swim can be a big improved time when you do it again in the late summer and shave that minute off! Go mommy of four doing a triathlon!!!
